Re: Potential Residential Component
This would be nice to see for KC. I mean, even Pittsburgh is putting up some big towers. KC needs one, just one nice modern condo tower to go up downtown.macnw wrote:Reference in the Biz journal about money for Cordish to begin the residential component of the P&L district. This has to be a misprint or I completely misunderstood the snipet.

It was supposed to be like 35 stories (including hotel component), but I would bet that if this does happen, it would end up being about 6-10 floors which is better than nothing.

Re: Potential Residential Component
Since the vacant parcel at 13th and Walnut isn't very big, it causes me to wonder if anyone knows if the garage next to Cosentino's was designed to have a high-rise building built on top of it later?

Re: Potential Residential Component
A long time ago, before any of it was finished, Cordish was saying they wanted the tower to be skinny so it could be taller. They said it would be more expensive, but more impressive too.

That tower was to go on the lot and on building where the jones pool is now.FangKC wrote:Since the vacant parcel at 13th and Walnut isn't very big, it causes me to wonder if anyone knows if the garage next to Cosentino's was designed to have a high-rise building built on top of it later?

Re: Potential Residential Component
It only has 250 units. I wish it had more, but hopefully, it will spur more people willing to invest in projects like this downtown.

Re: Potential Residential Component
I'm into it. Looks pretty cool. 23 stories is not bad at all!
Midland being restored finally, too. Great news!

Article states that's just a concept thrown together....no architect chosen yet.

Re: Potential Residential Component
This project is going to be awesome. Very excited to have that corner filled in, not to mention the skyline addition, the rental units, the increased tax base and sales for P&L. In fact, I feel a little like this:

Re: Potential Residential Component
It's about time. I hope it fills up quickly after completion, and Cordish sees that as a sign for build the three other planned towers in stages.
Now, let's also get to building the other East Village residential.

Re: Potential Residential Component
35 stories would have been amazing...but that included the hotel portion. 23 stories is still the tallest residential building construction in KC history...not bad.

Re: Potential Residential Component
Jezuscrist, seriously? Design is blah? Wish it was taller?
This is the tallest residential building ever built in KC. Not including 909 which wasn't built for residential.

Don't get me wrong, very pumped about it. Apologies if it didn't come off that way???KC-wildcat wrote:Jezuscrist, seriously? Design is blah? Wish it was taller?

The design though is boring...but as stated...it's not the design, just a placeholder.

Re: Potential Residential Component
Yeah, they haven't selected an architect yet. That's just a conceptual design for now.
Kudos to Cordish for continuing to invest in KC, they could've pulled out.

Re: Potential Residential Component
I imagine that there would be parking issues if they built it taller. There has to be some parking set aside for public use because the Midland Theater and Copaken Stage patrons also use that garage in the evenings.
.The parking garage, which also serves the Cosentino Market, would have 432 spaces reserved for residents of the One Power & Light tower and the Midland residences. The grocery store will continue to have 127 spaces and another 241 spaces will be available to the public for general use.
